Treatment Options For Thalassemia

Maintaining A Healthy Diet

Despite these mentioned limitations, it is essential for thalassemia patients to get adequate nutrition. Maintaining a healthy diet is somewhat difficult, but there are still a few options. Milk and dairy products are encouraged since calcium helps lessen iron absorption. Chicken and turkey, as well as most vegetables and fruits, are all important in maintaining a healthy diet as well. Parents will need to become quite knowledgeable about their child's dietary needs. Consultation with a dietitian is critical and should be part of the parents' and the child's early education.
